Need an ecommerce solution....

Hey guys-

I would like to know what is the best solution for trying to put together a site like http://capelrugs.com.  The rugs will need to be searched by color, design, size, etc.   Just wanted to see what the best/easiest solution available. I already have a program that keeps track of the inventory and will export it in an Excel format. I was thinking about Php and MySQL. Just wondering if there is some software that would make the process a little easier.

The website will not have a shopping cart. Only the search engine built in the html.

Thanks in advanced-

J

    I was just about to point you to this link PHP CRUD Tutorial (part 1) when I realised that you may not have the software and know-how that is required for such a project.

    In my case, I have a working knowledge of HTML, CSS, JS, PHP and MySQL while using Dreamweaver and Photoshop as my tools of trade.

    A good place to start is How to make a website in Dreamweaver part 1, site setup | Adobe Dreamweaver CC tutorials

    thanks for chiming in...  I do have the Adobe Creative Cloud suite and I use Dreamweaver/Photoshop on a regular basis. What I a, trying to do is create a website that I can list products on, and allow users to search for different products based on a few specific parameters. Size, color, Type, etc. And I need help on what to use to make it all happen. Should I try building a database in MySQL and if so.... are there any training videos or websites that I can watch to chow me how to search my content and have it appear on my webpage in a certain way.

    That's really the basis of what I am trying to do. I already know Dreamweaver, just rusty on the Php stuff.

    Any help is appreciated!

    Thanks

    You might want to start here, how to connect to a database using mysqli/php and retrieve records from it. Its a 9 part series, in short managable chunks

    PHP and MySQL with MySQLi: Introduction (Part 1/9) - YouTube

    Working locally with mysqli and php, on your machine, you would need a web-server installed such as MAMP for Mac of WAMP for Windows
